GOOD LORD....it is now official the Republicans are really trying to lose this election

Here is a heroic Montana Senator who just chose to chew out firefighters from the job they did....can we get some help from the dems in this country to get rid of him like you did Lott, etc.

Judging from the firefighters I knew when my dad was chief of our local volunteer unit, I am surprised this senator was still able to talk after teh "confrontation". Either firefighters are made of lesser stuff than they used to be, or this altercation wasn't as hot as some were trying to say it was.

I am betting JIMBO was far enough away to avoid that...plus we can be a pretty disciplined bunch these days.

I am figuring this guy will be out of a job shortly (WE CAN ONLY HOPE)

The difficult is done immediately.

The impossible takes a little longer.

I bet this jackass also hangs over his plumbers shoulder while he works and tells him he's doing it wrong.

My guess is that someone he is associated with had their property burn while the hotshots were fighting other fires. Only so much they can do at one time butthead. Doesn't look like he was ever a firefighter either.

I think from reading the report that if I had to guess it would be more like someone he is associated with had their property burn while the hotshots who were fighting other fires would not allow the property owner to fight the fire on his own property.

But whatever the reason, justified or not (probably not) you don't attack the bullet or the gun, you attacked the people who pull the trigger. The fire fighters just go where their told and enforce the policy given to them

The funny part is that Burns was surprised they were only making $10-$12 per hour. I guess he was shocked that his republican agenda is actually coming to fruition.

$10-$12 an hour? These guys should quit that dangerous business and get a job at a Chicago WalMart where the real money is.

General experience is (1) any type of work that demonstrates your ability to perform the work of the position, or (2) experience that provided you with a familiarity with the job.

Specialized experience is that which equips you with the particular knowledge, skills, and abilities to successfully do the job

GOOD LORD...
apparently the Jame Dobson crowd is going to oppose Guliani because (typical religious...Not FAITH but RELIGIOUS Fascisim) he wont' support a total ban on Abortion.

Jeeze...with Republicans (bluebloods since they support more government control on behavior) taking aim on their own feet, and the Dems running such incredible fools when will the rest of the nation discover what I have been saying for years.

Christians are fvcking things up? No way!

James Dobson is a self righteous moralizing douche bag. But, he's the perfect face for the Religious Wrong.

I'm on OxyContin right now. It makes the libbies go away. Got 60 for a simple wrist surgery.

Americas spend 9 of every 10 dollars made on REstate and only 3 of 10 from stocks. REstate will turn back up in 4 years, maybe?

I'll let you all calculate the tax and economic ramifications of that?
